Abstract: 24,847. Pinot, F. M. B. Dec. 6, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Rotary converters; armatures; brushholders.-A singlephase rectifier or motor comprises two machines, Fig. 5, in one of which X the singlep h a s e current is transformed i n t o two or more currents of sinusoidal form, which are supplied to the second machine Y for the production of a continuous current or of a motor couple. Both the armature i and field magnet E of the machine X are stationary, and the windings may be arranged on separate cores, as shown, or on the same core. The armature i is provided with two exactly similar windings connected to separate commutators, round which pairs of brushes B, B', Fig. 3, are rotated by means of a small synchronous polyphase motor M, the axes of the two sets of brushes being preferably at right-angles. The field magnet E is excited by the single-phase current, and two-phase currents e1, e2 capable of giving rise to a rotary field of elliptical form are collected at the brushes B, B'. The currents e1, e2 are supplied by means of sliprings and brushes f to the two-phase stator E' of the machine Y, the rotating armature i<1> of which is connected on one side to a commutator with stationary brushes B2, B<1>2 for the collection of continuous current, and on the other side to sliprings b2, b<1>2 for the introduction, in a modification, of current e2 of one of the phases. The machine will operate as a motor by introducing into the armature i<1> the current e1 by way of the commutator, or the current e2 through the slip-rings, the field being excited by both currents. A singlephase series motor is obtained by connecting one phase of the stator winding and the armature i<1> in series through the commutator and feeding them with the current e1 of one phase only. The field of the motor M is supplied with both currents e1, e2 from the slip-rings f, and its armature i<11> with the current e2 only, the number of its field poles being four times that of the machine X. The field of the motor M may be excited by single - phase current, and the armature fed with the current e1, the motor then having the same number of poles as the field magnet of the machine X. The machines may be started by rotating the armature i<11> by means of a wheel m. As shown in Fig. 3, the commutators of the machine X are arranged concentrically, and the brushes B, B' are adjusted by means of a nut moved round the screw-threaded end of the shaft p by means of a fork k, the lower end of which is moved in a groove r in the support s<1> by means of a screw v. The brush-support S is connected to the nut by means of sliding rods t, and may be prevented from moving along the shaft by a spring r<1>. When ordinary conmutators arranged end to end are employed, the brushsupport is fixed to the nut, and the brushes f are kept in contact with their slip-rings by fixing them to the sliding fork k.
